[MEI-L] Sample encoding of mensural notation

[Eleanor Selfridge-Field]

Hi, Daniel,

There are hundreds of examples of the MEI encodings of mensural notation at the Josquin Research Project (http://jrp.stanford.edu).  The data here does not originate as MEI, so the examples are a little artificial.  Nonetheless, the encodings provide a simple model of what this kind of notation looks like in MEI.  I looked at Dufay (http://josquin.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/jrp?a=mei&f=Duf3007.2) as an arbitrary choice.  (The display currently comes from MuseData.)  Here is Josquin’s Miserere: http://josquin.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/jrp?a=mei&f=Jos1803.

Best regards,

Subject: [MEI-L] Sample encoding of mensural notation


Hello everyone in the world of music encoding,

at the moment, I am preparing my dissertation for my M.A.-degree at the Goethe-University in Frankfurt, Germany, which I am planning to write this year about the possibilities and difficulties of editing mensural notation.

Since I have barely no experience in encoding music at all (however, the tutorial an the MEI-Website was very helpful to get the first steps and to encode a first piece of CMN), I am now wondering, if I could find a sample encoding of mensural notation, to get an overview on how it is done. I tried encoding out by relating on a sample I found at http://www.digital-musicology.at/de-at/mei_mensual.html, but I'm not sure, whether I did something wrong or how else the common standard is. (If someone is interested: You can find my first attempts here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/15v9inaose2z8e8/AACXfPru5v3H5fg2cwgNZJFKa?dl=0, all comments on them are very welcome!)

I did not find any MN-sample in the sample encodings package, so could anyone please send me one?

Yours sincerely,
Daniel Alles
